Bologna to host the defending Italian champions.

Renato Dall’Ara Stadium in Bologna gears up to host the Matchweek 11 fixture of the Serie A, where Bologna takes on defending champions Napoli.

Bologna have fared well in the Serie A and are placed fifth. They have won five games out of 10 league matches and are placed fifth. They are led by Vincenzo Italiano, who has previously managed teams like Fiorentina, Calcio, and Trapani before taking over the reins of Bologna.

Napoli’s title defence has begun in the most dominating fashion as they find themselves at the top of the Serie A table with 22 points. Their UCL campaign, however, has been concerning. Antonio Conte would be keen to win the next league game and extend their lead at the top.
